Title: Need help with unconfirmed Transaction Post by: kazuyo_kiriyami on October 19, 2018, 03:44:49 PM Hi,
I just did a transaction and it is still unconfirmed. Transaction details: Size 370 (bytes) Weight 1480 Received Time 2018-10-19 14:44:04 Lock Time Block: 546435 Fees 0.00002651 BTC Fee per byte 7.165 sat/B Fee per weight unit 1.791 sat/WU Estimated BTC Transacted 1 BTC Is the fee very low for the transaction to be confirmed? In the bitcoin core qt client, I selected the recommended fee option of 0.00007166 BTC/kB Status of the transaction: Status: 0/unconfirmed, in memory pool Title: Re: Need help with unconfirmed Transaction Post by: OmegaStarScream on October 19, 2018, 03:48:51 PM The fees are not that low, the network is simply congested: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,2h
Your transaction should get confirmed within the next few hours.

Thanks. It's been almost 1.5 hours since I did the transaction. I hope it gets confirmed soon.

Also, it is recommended to have the RBF-flag set. Most wallets have an option to either enable or disable it. With the RBF-flag set, you will be able to 'pump' the fee after the transaction has been sent if you see that your tx won't confirm in the next few hours. You can always add an extra CPFP fee to the transaction to push it along if you don't want to wait. CPFP only works if the transaction contains a change (and OP has access to the priv key of the change address, obviously). Most web wallets for example don't give you access to your change addresses. RBF would be recommended here (if the flag is set). |
